B, and thereby becomes sufficiently mingledwith the atmosphere before combustion takes place.

Letter G is an opening ot' the shape of a slot on the top of the smoothing-iron, immediately above the burner, through which the atmoshere necessary to sustain combustion passes. The object ot' having the air admitted ,from above the burner is to deflect the flame toward the bottom ot' the smoothing-iron.

To operate this apparatus a connection is to be made between supply-tube A and an ordinary illuminating-gas burner, by means of a rubber tube 5 then screw back the small thumbscrew A', turn on the gas, and ignite the same now escaping out of the holes of burner B. In about ten minutes the smoothing-iron will be hot and ready for use, and constant heat coiltinued.
